Congratulations! Our son is also in Nanjing, and we are counting down the days to bring him home. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just came across your blog this morning! I just had to post and introduce myself because we have very similar dates, almost exact actually. We were also DTC yesterday. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your journey and reading the rest of your blog and maybe, we'll be in China together too!
ReplyDeleteOur blog is fromfivetosix blogspot com
Hoping for a speedy LOA for us both :)

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteOur agency is BAAS. This is our first adoption, how do we find out when we're LID? Do they let our agency know or does our agency have to call to find out? Please let me know when you get yours because that will mean I'm right there with you. I'll do the same.
Aaaah, okay so tell me, when are you hoping to travel? I was really hoping for late November but our agency said probably more like late December or January.
Crossing fingers for fast A's :)
